One of E-slop's Phables

Big Elephant Toes With Peanut Butter

One day a really big, fat, gray elephant was walking down the road, staring at the sky, for he was mesmerised by the different patterns they were forming. Unknowningly, he stepped on a pile of peanuts that was left in the middle of the road. CRUNCH!!! The elephant lifted his foot and looked at it dripping with goo. His toenails had become obscured by the light-coloured, slimy substance. "Aha!" he said to himself, "Lunch!"

The Moral of This Phable Is:

Distractions can cause unsightly messes or, on the other hand, lunch.

Alternate Moral:

Don't leave peanuts in the middle of a road, for they will be squashed.

Alternate Alternative Moral

Accidents can sometimes leave a rather sticky mess on your feet, which can be bad if you've just had a pedicure which cost more than half of your paycheck, thereby rendering that money and effort a wasted bit of energy that could have been used for better things, such as pruning your shrubs or raking leaves which wouldn't hold true unless it was fall, but you can't count on that because some people don't rake leaves in the fall whereas some people rake leaves all year-round because they're either unemployed thanks to the American government or just seriously bored because they have fruitless minds that must keep exterior objects busy thereby doing away with the necessity of thinking, like such politicians do but we won't get into that here because it's the moral of a Phable for goodness' sake and really a story appropriate for all ages, which would not be possible if we discussed the so-called-private lives of most any person in politics and no, I don't mean just Americans here so BLAH at all those bigots and, I'm talking to you here, I wonder what you mean by bringing those kind of values to a page whose worthy cause is to develop and enrich minds with the telling of honest, truthful stories that will hopefully lead to less drug addicts, less war, and more peace on earth, whereas your limitations will only cause the mind to shrivel and decay and leave the world's youth with less intelligence than our forefathers (May they rest in peace.) if that's possible, since I'm not too sure on the whole thing.

The End!
